WUTHERING NIGHTS
Prologue
From the journal of Greta Gardner,
February 1978
The boy arrived at night, wrapped
in a blanket. He was carried by his adopted father who placed him on the
kitchen floor next to me. His big blue eyes stared out from under his wild
black hair. He shrank from the fire, he shrank from my touch, yet his skin was
cold as ice…
He arrived with a list of
instructions tucked into the pocket of his jacket.
Eats - mostly chicken and oranges
(likes: roast chicken, blood oranges and plums).
Drinks - mostly water and citrus
juice.
First warning - do not let him go in the sun
often as he burns easily.
Second warning - make sure he wears
his necklace amulet (a parting gift from his biological mother). He screams if
you take it.
Final Warning - do not let him go
out at night alone.
As a small boy (just walking) he
had a tendency to wander off, and many times staff at the orphanage were unable
to find the little fellow for hours. Once, he was found hanging upside down
from the roof of the school gymnasium, like a bat. The only giveaway was the
drip drip drip of juice as he stuffed his baby face with blood oranges.
His file was then stamped: Special Needs.
